Motta Siva Ketta Siva from Feb 17

At last, Raghava Lawrence’s much delayed Motta Siva Ketta Siva has confirmed to hit the screens on February 17.

“To ensure Motta Siva Ketta Siva release, Raghava Lawrence sacrificed his entire remuneration. Further to settle the deficit, he gave huge sum of money from his own pocket”, said T Siva, who is helping the film to release.

The film was produced by Vendhar Movies’ Madhan and R B Choudary. It has now been handed over for distribution to Sivabalan Pictures.

The movie is directed by Sai Ramani, starring Raghava Lawrence and Nikki Galrani in the leading roles. A remake of the 2015 Telugu film Pataas, the film began production in November 2015.

The team prepared to release the film by May 2016 but were forced to delay the venture after producer Madhan of Vendhar Movies had disappeared after writing a suicide note.

Madhan and Vendhar Movies’ involvement in the project as a distributor meant that legal issues put the release of the film on hold, as police investigated Madhan’s disappearance
